2. Install the Plaster Guard
Install the plaster guard. Push until the plaster guard is snug
against the face of the elbow (or tee).
3. Set the Pipe Depth
Thin Wall Installations
NOTE: Thin wall installations have a finished wall thickness of less
than 1/2″ (1.3 cm).
To adjust the pipe depth, use a level or other straight edge to line
up the ″Thin Wall Installation″ mark with the front face of the
studs.
Standard Wall Installations
To adjust the pipe depth, use a level or other straight edge to line
up the edge of the plaster guard with the front face of the studs.

4. Install the Finished Wall
Install the Wall Material
Install the water-resistant wall board.
Cut out a 4″ (10.2 cm) to 4-1/4″ (10.8 cm) square at each tile
installation location.
Install the finished wall material.
5. Verify Depth and Install the Nipple
Remove the nipple.
NOTE: The minimum distance between the face of the tee/elbow
and the surface of the finished wall should be 2-1/4″ (5.7 cm). The
measurement for typical installations is 2-3/4″ (7 cm).
Measure the distance from the face of the tee/elbow to the
surface of the finished wall. Make any adjustments as needed.
If your measurement is 2-1/4″ (5.7 cm): Use a close pipe nipple.
If your measurement is 2-3/4″ (7 cm): Use a 1-1/2″ pipe nipple.
Thread the nipple into the tee/elbow and hand tighten.
Measure the distance from the end of the nipple to the surface of
the finished wall. Verify that the distance is at least 1-1/2″ (3.8
cm) and no more than 1-3/4″ (4.4 cm).
Remove the nipple.
Apply thread sealant to the threads of the nipple.
Reinstall the nipple to the tee/elbow.
Run water through the system to flush out any dirt or debris.

6. Install the Waterway
Insert the escutcheon into the rough opening. The double ribs of
the leak shield should be facing up.
If the leak shield makes contact with the elbow: Enlarge the
hole in the back of the leak shield to 1-1/4″ (3.2 cm).
Thread the adapter onto the nipple using the provided 11 mm bit,
11 mm or 7/16″ socket, extension and socket wrench. Use
masking tape to hold the bit in place, as the bit could fall off and
cause damage.
IMPORTANT! The escutcheon should sit loosely at this point. If it is
tight against the wall, use a longer pipe nipple.
Align the groove in the waterway with the double ribs on the
leak shield.
Press the waterway into place over the adapter. Secure the
waterway to the adapter with the screw provided.
Verify that the escutcheon does not turn or shift.
IMPORTANT! If the escutcheon is still loose after this step, use a
shorter pipe nipple.

7. Complete the Installation
Attach the Sprayhead
With the ribs of the sprayhead facing up, attach the sprayhead to
the waterway.
Using a 5/32″ hex wrench, secure the sprayhead to the waterway
with the two hex screws provided. Do not overtighten.
Check the sprayhead for upward and downward movement and
that it sits squarely within the escutcheon.
Place the nozzle membrane over the sprayhead.
Align the long edge of the membrane with the hinge ribs
(horizontal).
NOTE: For optimum performance, ensure that the membrane is
applied evenly.
Applying pressure evenly, press the membrane seal into the
sprayhead groove.
Attach the Sprayface
NOTE: For product with brushed finishes, align the brush pattern of
the sprayfaces with the direction of the brushed pattern of the
escutcheon.
Tilt the sprayhead downward so the ribs on the top of the
sprayhead are exposed.
Insert the grooves of the sprayface over the ribs of the sprayhead.

Complete the Installation (cont.)
Press the sprayface down to cover the sprayhead, as illustrated.
Tilt the sprayhead upward to expose the setscrew holes on the
bottom of the sprayhead.
IMPORTANT! The setscrews must be flush with the edge of the
sprayface frame. If the setscrews protrude outside of the sprayface
frame, product damage will occur.
Using a 5/64″ hex wrench, turn the setscrews counterclockwise
until they are flush with the edge of the sprayface frame.
